"Our commitment to liberty is America's tradition -- declared
at our founding; affirmed in Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms;
asserted in the Truman Doctrine and in Ronald Reagan's challenge
to an evil empire. We are committed to freedom in Afghanistan,
in Iraq, and in a peaceful Palestine. The advance of freedom
is the surest strategy to undermine the appeal of terror in the
world. Where freedom takes hold, hatred gives way to hope. When
freedom takes hold, men and women turn to the peaceful pursuit
of a better life. American values and American interests lead
in the same direction: We stand for human liberty." --President
George W. Bush
